Context

In September 1914, German officials and anti-colonial Indian revolutionaries established the Indian Independence Committee to foment unrest in British India. One of its instruments of propaganda was in the writing of inflammatory pamphlets such as British Rule in India: Condemned by the British Themselves. Statements by British colonial critics were published in this essay that was dedicated to 'Indian martyrs who fought against Great-Britain'. The pamphlet was translated in multiple languages and spread all over Europe and throughout Asia.
